Rated: R Runtime: 100 min. Language: in Spanish with subtitles Directed by: Paddy Breathnach Starring: Héctor Medina, Jorge Perugorría, Luis Alberto García Ireland's official selection for Best Foreign Language film at the Academy Awards, Viva follows Jesus, a hairdresser for a troupe of drag performers in Havana, Cuba who dreams of being a performer himself. When he finally gets his chance to be on stage, his estranged father who has been absent from his life for 15 years emerges from the crowd and punches him in the face. As father and son clash over their opposing expectations of each other, Viva becomes a love story as the men struggle to understand one another and become a family again. "Havana's crumbling trapped-in-time beauty also plays a starring role, but it's Medina who provides the movie's raw, tender heart."~ Entertainment Weekly
